The phrase "a decrease in genome" is not correct and does not convey a clear meaning in written English.
It may be intended to describe a reduction in genetic material or genetic diversity, but the phrasing is awkward and unclear.
Example: "The study revealed a decrease in genome size among the affected species, indicating potential evolutionary pressures."
Alternatives: "a reduction in genetic material" or "a decline in genomic content".
A decrease in genome size, over time, was observed in strains isolated from the Netherlands, Sweden, Japan and Australia.
However, we could not detect a decrease in genome size of Kenya and Senegal strains since strains from different isolation dates were not available.
In the subclade consisting of these two cyanobacteria and NoAz, a decrease in genome size has occurred since the branching from the Anabaena/ Nostoc clade.
These mechanisms are counterbalanced by processes that result in a decrease in genome size such as unequal recombination and illegitimate recombination (Leitch and Leitch 2013).
In contrast to cell death in response to a decrease in genome DNA methylation, we discuss cell death in response to its increase in the latter half of this review.
In general, however, the introgression of TEs into a genome is potentially harmful, as the activity of transposons and rearrangement sites can lead to a decrease in genome stability.
Therefore, our observation of a decrease in genome-wide elongating PolII is not at all inconsistent with the results of this study.
Since both 5-aza-2′-dC and RNR-inhibitors are used in the treatment of hematological malignancies, we treated myeloid leukemia cell lines with 5-aza-2′-dC and the RNR-inhibitor hydroxyurea, and observed synergistic inhibition of cell growth and a decrease in genome-wide DNA methylation.
It has been frequently documented that the major trend in vascular plants is a decrease in the genome size per haploid genome (1Cx), when a polyploidization event occurs (Leitch and Bennett 2004; Leitch and Leitch 2013).
In this regard, inhibition of viral DNA replication may be particularly advantageous, because a decrease in viral genome copy numbers should significantly lower VA-RNA gene copy numbers.
For six species of flowering plants, a decrease in plastid genome copy number during leaf maturation shows that cpDNA can be added to this list.
